Man Charged In Walmart Theft Case

Police charged Billy D. Willis, 20, with third degree burglary in connection with a theft offense at Walmart.

Police say on Tuesday evening, officers were summoned to Walmart regarding a shoplifting complaint. Upon arrival, officers were told that store employees observed Willis exit the store without paying for a 12-pack of beer.

Employees then detained Willis. Police determined Willis had been issued a trespass warning and banned from the store on a previous occasion. Police say his entry into the store to commit an alleged shoplifting offense after being banned from the premises resulted in the burglary charge against him.
